Why Does Raw Honey Crystallize? (And Why It's a Good Thing)

Crystallization is a natural process that preserves the flavor and quality characteristics of raw honey. It occurs because honey is a super-saturated solution of two sugars: glucose and fructose. Over time, the glucose separates from the water and forms crystals. Processed supermarket honey is heated and ultra-filtered to prevent this, which destroys its health benefits. If your Krishna Naturals honey crystallizes, simply place the jar in warm water and it will return to liquid form.
